Instructing on a different fleet
 

Has anyone here been hired as a PI on a fleet with no experience on type? 'asking for a friend'

Yes saw it when I was in Bus school. Back when DEN 737 had little movement and pilots waiting a long time to get into the base. A320 had instructor openings...boom, DEN based!:cool:

Of course - "See one, Be one" All you really have to learn how to say is (with a straight face), "the critique forms are important, the fleet reads them".

I try to tell my wife how to do things all the time, and I'm not typed in her equipment.

I've learned I better stick to teaching in equipment I have experience in.

You might want to recheck you logic train. If you think it is better to stick with equipment with which "you have experience in type", I believe you should have chosen to marry a man.

Unfortunately both of my ex wives probably wish I would have stuck with men as well. LOL. I hope they are enjoying their houses.

Back in the day UAL hired F16 instructors right into the PI position with zero airline experience and zero heavy jet multi-engine.

Ironically many of these also would not utilize their "fly" days to the fullest and actually learn about the airplane they were "teaching."

Logic, another area I'm apparently weak in.:)

It gives you more street cred, that's for sure. Nothing more irritating than an ip telling you how to do things on the line that has either never flown the airplane on the line, or has been ten years or more. (Think IAH 737 school house and the Scab den hiding from the line)

I know of a few that were not only hired directly into the PI position with zero experience in 121 flying, but then "upgraded" to standards Captains 3 or 4 years later, having never been a line pilot. One of my classmates who this happened to had to fly the line for a few months because he lacked some qualifications. I don't know what that qualification was. 1000 hours in type?

Sharp guy, but YGTBFSM.

Yes that was annoying
